2024-25 Vision Board

Peace’s Vision Board consists of elected members and the Lead Pastor, and maintains the long-range vision for the congregation. The Board ensures that the mission and vision of the church are consistent with the activities of the congregation. The vision and annual budget are based on input from the ministry teams, staff, finance team and the planning boards.

​Recommendations for membership are based upon an active life of service, consistent and positive involvement in ministry at Peace, an appreciation for the whole ministry of Peace, the desire to share time, talent and other resources, and a proven ability to work and serve collaboratively on a team. Nominees are elected to two-year terms with a maximum of two consecutive terms. A vote of affirmation is held once a year, usually in May.

Finance Team

Peace's Finance Team consists of the Treasurer, Finance Manager and Operations Director of Peace as well as several volunteers familiar with business management or accounting/auditing functions. The finance team provides proper business procedures to be routinely followed for all finance/accounting office practices, and provides assistance to parish leadership by maintaining a watch over the monthly financial activities of the church. The finance team reviews financial reports for previous months to offer advisory information to the Vision Board on a routine basis. The finance team is also charged to set the scope and timing of any audit engagement, and will identify and secure the external/internal auditing resources needed to conduct annual reviews of the financial records. This team will communicate with the congregation on a reporting basis as needed. For more information, Contact Pat Rocca, Operations Director.
​
​Team members:  Aaron Ware, Treasurer; Gary Baptiste, Finance Manager; Pat Rocca, Operations and Staff Director; Susan App and Elizabeth Hagedorm.
